CP 2017 didn't disappoint, it was a great 400GB turnout and the experience was as ever fecking awesome! It was great to catch up with our German friends Michael, Florian, Axel (& Ambrose) too.
Slightly different experience on track this year, being that majority of us punched well above our cc in the middleweight group. At times was a tad frustrating, but plenty of round the outside round the outside overtaking ensued, which was a nice. Certainly rode the nuts off my poor NC, I’m slighty surprised the engine didn’t expire running with hardly any water in it half the time!
A special thanks to Mi for the food and organising my world, Tim for his BBQ skills, Liam for the drop-in the charging station - my lungs are all the better for it, Zippy for the diet tips & fitness regime, and finally Jim for being Jim.
Personal highlights for me were:-
riding at 4mph in the parade;
generally being late for everything;
coleslaw;
finally working out the correct line through Charlies;
checking out Mi's white bits;
bumping my bike in the holding area after everyone else was long gone then chasing & passing 2/3 of the group from almost a whole lap down;
watching Zippy watching the FooFighters at Glastonbury on an iphone screen wishing he had a 55” LED TV installed in the 400GB gazebo;
and Jim kicking the arse of Mr Kipling!

Took my leathers in this morning to be adorned with 500 gold studs, thankyouverymuch….
I really enjoyed you all, love & peace,
Me, Panama Mike & Mi xx
